Do Knot Disturb directed by David Dhawan tries hard to make you laugh but it fails,big time! The movie is offensive,cheap and loud.
There a few scenes which manages to bring laugh but they are far and between.
The story is a big yawn The direction is disastrous.
The music is average.
The dialogs are bad.
Performances:- Govinda,Sushmita Sen and Lara Dutta stink.Ritesh Deshmukh,may be a little loud at times but is good.Rajpal Yadav and Manoj Pahwa are the scene stealer.Rajpal Yadav is loud but still manages to impress you with his performance and Manoj Pahwa is damn superb.Ranvir Shorey,Sohail Khan and Rituparna Sen are wasted.
Do knot Disturb is a huge failure

Do knot Disturb is a huge failure
Expectations from a David-Dhawan-Govinda film are huge, as they have given us true classics in the past. Their latest offering 'Do Knot Disturb' is easily their weakest fare together.
There is no script at all, yet the first hr somehow entertains. But the second hr, is boring, irritating & REALLY loud. It becomes a complete mess.
Acting is no better either; Govinda, Lara Dutta & Sushmita Sen ham. Govinda's female voice imitation is another sore point. Lara & Sushmita overact like never before. Ritesh is alright. Sohail Khan doesn't work. Manoj Phawa & Rajpal Yadav are fantastic; these 2 steal the show. Ranvir Shorey is wasted; plus the role of his twin is horrible. Himani Shivpuri, Satish Kaushik, Rituparna & Ali Asgar are average.
On the whole, don't disturb these people... and not even yourself!

in the 90's after AANKHEN Govinda and DD were a team to reckon with and every year since 1993 to 1999 there was at least 1 hit by the director- actor duo every year in 1994- RAJA BABU, 1995- COOLIE NO.1, 1996- SCS, 1997- HERO NO.1, DEEWANA MASTANA, 1998- BMCM, 1999- HASEENA MAAN JAYEGI
After that in 2000 they had KUNWARA which flopped, in 2001 they had 1 hit JODI NO.1 and then a flop KYO KII MAIN JHUTH NAHIN BOLTA in 2003 EK AUR EK GYARAH was an average and then the jodi came back with PARTNER(2007)
Coming to DO KNOT DISTURB it brought great expectations because it was the comeback of Govinda- DD and Vashu Bhagnani after BMCM The promos took off but i came to the conclusion directly that this is outdated Now after watching the film I came to know I was so right The story itself of having a girlfriend outside marriage is done to death, first David did it in SAAJAN CHALE SASURAL(1996) and then again in a flop GHARWALI BAHARWALI(1998) and then again in BIWI NO.1(1999) and even in KYO KII MAIN JHUTH NAHIN BOLTA(which had Sushmita in the same wife role) and in NO ENTRY(2005) by Anees Bazmee
In short, that is boring now even the dialogues like Lara saying tumhein bungla chahiye ya flat is done to death
There added a 4th triangle here with Ritiesh but sadly the film is too loud and too slapstick and the other character Sohail Khan irritates and the film turns into a JAANE BHI DO YAARON type but fails and by the time the end it's too much
Direction by DD is bad Music is ordinary
Amongst actors Ritiesh is become a big force as a comedian and he steals the show from Govinda which is a big thing Govinda is too loud and overboard and though he has his moments, it pales front of his earlier performances even PARTNER Sushmita and Lara are ordinary Sohail does what he does always, screams and makes faces And Ranveer Shorey i don't know what he found in this film?

As a Hungarian, I was very pleased to see that for once Bollywood is not copying a Hollywood hit, but a little known but very funny Hungarian one!!! What a surprise. And indeed, it is virtually a carbon copy of 'A miniszter félrelép' but with added Bollywood songs, extra unnecessary scripting, chaotic direction, etc. Do Knot Disturb actually manages to ruin the funniness of an otherwise great story.
The reviews of Do Knot Disturb are deservedly negative, however to quote just one reviewer of 'A miniszter félrelép' "it's the best comedy i have seen in a decade. Charming slapstick, shades of Chaplin, witty dialogue and hilarious twists and turns." So people if you went to see Do Knot Disturb with these expectations but came away disappointed, please find yourself a subtitled copy of 'A miniszter félrelép' and you will be endlessly entertained.

The entire unit should be made to stand in line for not doing a reality check on David Dhawan that the basic premise of "Do Knot Disturb" resembles "Golmaal Returns". In order to ward off suspecting wife, the husband hires a guy who is supposed to pretend the other woman's lover thereby setting off a chain of hilarious events.
I am surprised how established names like Sushmita Sen, Lara Dutta, Ritesh Deshmukh, Ranvir Shorey have decided to be a part of the project. Even Rituparna Sengupta - oh no! Sohail Khan is getting type-casted into the slot of Manoj Pahwa & Rajpal Yadav. He better watch out (restraint is the keyword!).
David's pairing with Govinda has always resulted in comedy that can be termed, if I dare say "cheap". The formula did work in some part of history but surely not any more. And needless to say Govinda gets unleashed and goes Over-the-top to the point of irritation.
Strictly not advised even for hard-core Govinda fans!
